Summary
"There’s a lamp glowing warm in the corner beside Bee’s bookshelf, soft light catching on the edges of framed degrees Andrew’s never bothered reading before now. That’s where he sticks his gaze, just shy of looking at Bee.
Neil had looked gray when Andrew left the dorm. Gray, like someone had scooped the color out of him with both hands and left behind whatever was underneath. Every sharp bone in his body has started showing through lately - collarbones too pronounced beneath loose shirts, wrists thin enough Andrew can nearly circle one entirely with his hand.
It’s like watching something eat Neil alive from the inside out. Like termites hollowing through wood. The details accumulate under Andrew’s skin like splinters.
“Andrew.”
“He looks like a corpse,” Andrew says flatly."

He's Insisting That He's Fine (He's Not Fine) by P234age

Summary
"Andrew’s arm slides around Neil’s waist, slow enough that Neil could stop him if he wanted to. He doesn’t. He lets Andrew pull him in against his chest, one arm tight around him, solid and unyielding. Protective, though against what, Neil isn’t sure.
The heat of Andrew’s body sinks into him almost immediately, thawing some of the chill lodged deep in his bones. Neil hadn’t realized just how cold he was until now. He curls closer without thinking about it.
Andrew’s hand spreads flat against his side, slipping under his shirt carefully. “You’re freezing,” he mutters after a minute.
“It’s just cold in here.” Neil closes his eyes and adds, “But you’re warm.”
Andrew makes a quiet, irritated sound at that, but he doesn’t let go. Neil lets himself sink into the warmth instead of thinking about the blood or the pain or the way his body feels increasingly foreign to him. He focuses on Andrew’s heartbeat beneath his cheek. The steady rise and fall of his breathing. Eventually, Andrew’s grip tightens almost imperceptibly around him, like he’s afraid Neil might disappear if he loosens it too much."
OR
Neil isn't feeling well, but he's fine. Totally fine. Nothing to worry about here!

Summary
Naming it meant giving it an identity, making it something when they were supposed to be just two unrecognizable, unidentifiable humans. Disorders were for the crooked, for people who you could spot in a multitude and point a finger at, a red mark right on their forehead that could so easily mean death for Neil and Mary.
Andrew was the first one to talk about it outloud, breaking the curse that for so long forced Neil to keep quiet, hiding it behind a curtain of smoke just waiting for it to be blown away.
“There's something wrong with your knees.” Andrew didn't ask, he didn't need to when the evidence was right in front of them.
Or, where Neil’s hypermobile and he’s learning to live with it.

Summary
Neil only realized something was wrong after something had already gone wrong.
It was supposed to be his first practice back after his concussion and he was aching to run. Or maybe he was just aching. Technicalities.

Summary
Neil tiptoes out of the bedroom, bare feet silent on the cold, wood floor. He’s thrown a hoodie on in concession of the frost on the windows, but he still shivers slightly. The air is dry and sharp on his skin, scars aching as winter greedily wrings every last drop of moisture from it.
He flexes his fingers gingerly. He rolls his neck until he hears it crack.
Only in winter do his bones feel as brittle as glass.
AKA: A cozy, winter day in the life of Neil Josten and Andrew Minyard in their apartment after college.Bookmarked by 8rainbow8

Summary
“I want to see him,” Andrew decides.
“They won’t let you,” Wymack tells him.
Andrew grits out, “They don’t get to decide that.”
Wymack’s eyes never stop searching him. “They do.”
Andrew can’t look at anything. He sounds awfully, condemningly and absolutely indifferent. “They don’t get to decide he’s dead.”
“They did,” Wymack says.
A hospital has never been so fucking quiet.
Or Neil dies in Baltimore but doesn’t quite leave. This a look into the complexity of Andrew’s trauma, grief, and psychosis that manifests itself as the undying ghost of Neil Josten. Reality and sanity are fragile concepts that Andrew isn’t too concerned about anymore; not if it means never letting Neil go, again and again and again. He made a promise, after all.

Summary
Neil really thought that his problems were over, now that his father was dead and most of his people captured. MOST is the key word.
Minutes before a match with the USC he gets shot. He really doesn't want to ruin it for everyone though, so he thinks, hey, why not play with a bullet in my stomach.
It does not go as well as expected.
